Your specialists in the secure management of lithium batteries
Storing lithium-ion batteries safely
Knowing how to store lithium batteries is vital to conducting business safely. Whether storing small quantities with lower power or more powerful lithium-ion batteries in more significant amounts, you must ensure that your insurance coverage is guaranteed and that employees, your premises, and the environment remain protected. You must also ensure that stored lithium batteries are not damaged by improper storage. Our systems have structural fire protection from both the inside and outside and additional equipment for plant fire protection to safely store lithium-ion batteries and comply with the law for every application.
Charging lithium batteries properly
Special care must be taken when charging lithium-ion batteries, as there is an increased risk of thermal runaway. In particular, if defective batteries are exposed to a charging voltage or are not set correctly. For this reason, and also for insurance protection, charging must constantly be monitored. Our storage cabinets offer all-around 90-minute fire protection from the outside.
A tested, liquid-tight spill sump (powder-coated sheet steel) provides containment of any leaks from burning batteries while permanently self-closing doors and quality oil-damped door closers give more protection.
Charging and storage cabinets for lithium-ion batteries
Lithium-ion charging and storage cabinets provide a safe and efficient solution for charging equipment and tool batteries. All models feature integrated grounded sockets for connecting chargers. Depending on the model, charging cabinets have ventilation to prevent heat buildup. Options include large cabinets with up to electrical slots, compact variants, space-saving under-bench cabinets, and locker models for secure, separate charging.
Key features include 90-minute fire protection from both inside and outside. Some models also have a fire suppression system with a smoke detector and temperature sensor. We now offer a 2-door storage cabinet with up to 6 shelves, enhancing storage capacity and workflow.
Handling defective lithium-ion batteries correctly
Various events and external influences can damage lithium-ion batteries. For example, through mechanical damage, improper storage, or faulty charging. The problem: defective lithium batteries harbor an extremely high-risk potential. In particular, defective lithium-ion batteries have a high risk of "thermal runaway," an unstoppable chain reaction leading to fire or bursting. To protect your employees, production facilities, and the environment in the event of a reaction, faulty lithium-ion batteries must be separated immediately and stored safely until they can be disposed of properly. The DENIOS range offers the following solutions in these instances:
Transporting lithium-ion batteries in compliance with the law
In North America, lithium batteries are classified under UN numbers 3090/3091 (lithium metal batteries) and UN 3480/3481 (lithium-ion batteries) as Class 9 dangerous goods. These batteries must adhere to hazardous materials regulations during transport, requiring specific packaging standards. Typically, UN-approved packaging is necessary for transporting lithium-ion batteries by road, rail, sea, or air. Depending on the condition of the batteries, the transport box must have the appropriate design approval and meet specific packaging instructions per ADR guidelines. DENIOS offers transport solutions that comply with these regulations.
Quarantine boxes for damaged lithium-ion batteries
DENIOS provides professional storage and transport boxes for defective lithium-ion batteries. Made from plastic, aluminum, steel, or stainless steel, these containers come in various sizes, with custom dimensions available on request.
They feature different fire protection agents, like PyroBubbles® granulate or PE cushions, tested by MPA Dresden. Our quarantine boxes ensure safety, protection against exothermic reactions, and up to 100% control of potential thermal runaway, depending on the risk assessment and battery condition. Many containers are also approved for transporting defective or critically faulty lithium batteries.
Transport boxes for lithium-ion batteries
Whether prototype, small series, undamaged, damaged, defective, critically defective, or destined for recycling, DENIOS offers approved transport solutions for all lithium battery needs. Our high-quality transport boxes, made of plastic, aluminum, steel, or stainless steel, come in various sizes, with custom dimensions available. Safe and compliant transport is ensured with the appropriate filling material, such as PyroBubbles®, a tested extinguishing agent, or fireproof absorbent materials. These materials are used as granulate, PE filling cushions, or textured glass fiber padding, providing comprehensive protection for lithium-ion batteries.
Professional testing of lithium-ion batteries
Before newly developed lithium batteries or products powered by them, such as household appliances, tools, or electric vehicles, receive a market release, they must be extensively tested. The planning of a safe test environment must take many customer-specific aspects into account. DENIOS develops lithium test rooms almost exclusively according to your customized specifications. You benefit from cost-effective series production, individual design, and the know-how of the fire protection expert.
Fire-Rated Lithium-Ion battery charging and testing
DENIOS aims to build rooms that perfectly meet your requirements and offer the highest level of safety - especially when testing lithium energy storage devices. It all starts with a personal consultation and the analysis of your requirements. Our engineers will then work with you to develop the optimal concept based on various aspects such as space requirements, location (indoor or outdoor), equipment, and safety devices. A broad team of specialists then develops a tailor-made solution according to your specifications holistically and competently. "Made by DENIOS" is the highest quality from a single source.
The primary function of a test room is the simulation of stress situations. This simulation of stressful conditions for lithium energy storage requires process-dependent functionalities from the test environment. With individual equipment options, test rooms from DENIOS offer the possibility of simulating or supporting different load scenarios within the space.
The variety of equipment from DENIOS makes it possible to build lithium test rooms precisely according to your specifications. An example of this is the new equipment option for our test rooms. We offer temperature test chambers with an adjustable temperature range from -40°C to +110°C. Extended test options are now available in an even more extensive temperature range.
The DENIOS service for you: We will provide you with a turnkey system; of course, we will also take care of the connection, complete it with your equipment, or make our premises available for your interior design.
